Oh the Joys of Being a Mom

We have had a lot of fun this week!! With Halloween coming up we have taken every chance to party it up!! The kids and I made sugar cookies yesterday, and oh boy, was there flour everywhere. From carving pumpkins to eating candy 24/7 who can ask for more?

What the Heck???

Okay this is driving my crazy...I am about ready to throw my computer out the window right now as I am feeling a bit of rage...this is why I sometimes get frustrated with blogging. I am so computer illiterate. I will figure out how in the world to have the picture going the right direction. All's Well!!!:)

My apologies

You know I have realized something about myself, sometimes it takes me a while to get with the program. You know I have all intent of keeping in touch with people, but sometimes I let life overwhelm me. I have had some experiences recently that have made me remember all the dear friends I have had and that Dave and I have made. You all mean so much to me and also to Dave. I want to be so much better about keeping in touch and this truly is a great way...so if you are out there, please send me a line or two so we can reconnect and once again thank you for your friendship! These are some pics of some things that have been going on lately. Steph's first day of school as a Kindergartener and of course Will...who will be turning two in a month. That's another thing...whenever I start writing about my kids I get teary-eyed. They have enriched my life and taught me more about the love that our Heavenly Father has for us. Each day is an adventure. Some days are happier ones and others, well...we won't go there but I am sure many of you understand, but I am truly grateful for my children and for my wonderful husband.

P.S. I will be better about updating my blog:)

Utah Summer Trip '08

We have had such a great time with our family in Utah. It has been so great spending time with cousins and spending time with all of our family!!! You know, I love living in Vegas but it is when I come home that I miss family so much. I am just grateful for the relationships that we have!!! I have such wonderful family. Some of the highlights of our Utah trip have been:
1. Rollerblading Provo Canyon
2. Hiking to a rock waterslide
3. Going to the American Idol Tour 08' Concert
4. Swimming
5. Making bread with Grandma Marilyn
6. Seeing Ang and Tann!! We love you guys and pray that you will make your way to Vegas.
7. Spending lots of time shopping with my sweet, beautiful niece, Jessica
8. Dave and I having a date and going to Stadium of Fire, (minus the Miley Cyrus concert. I was not impressed!!)
9. Watching my angel nephew Ammon and seeing Mason.
***I am sure that there will be other things to come our way. We still have another 3 weeks...
Dave has kept busy as well. He has been to see Tiff and Preston in CA. They have had two weekends of surfing and boogie boarding. Thank you Tiff and Preston!! We are grateful for you guys.

My Dirty Little Boy!

"Bone Family Reunion Pics"

Wyoming 2008

Me and the kids just got home from having a great time with our dear "Bone" family! We had a family reunion with my dad's side of the family. It was so great getting to bond with my cousins and my wonderful Aunt Margaret and Uncle Gordon. They are truly great people. We played so hard!!! Something that was funny to me was that Stephanie was shocked that I knew how to drive a 4-wheeler! I guess that she really must think that I am a whimp, which I am, but it was fun to play with my kids, doing things that we haven't done for a while. We went canoeing at beautiful Louis Lake and just got real dirty! Will had a ball digging in the dirt and he biffed it many times in the dirt! Needless to say, it was a great family reunion and we created great memories!
